WWE RAW LD 2/27/2012 - We've Heard About Cena Rising Above Hate, But Can Dwayne?

Cena literally came out and said nothing but "you have notes on your wrist", how is that owning the rock?
 
All the Rock needs to do is come out and show on the Titantron examples of a Rock promo, and a Cena promo.

Cena says nothing funny. It's all "laugh at me as much as u want, I'm gonna kick your ass". He even admitted 2nite that he has no balls.
 
@mareek I agree. Cena didn't own anyone and there is no way the rock needs notes that was all planned so Cena could get a shot in and make it look realistic.

Rock was saying a bunch of lame things like Kung Pow and lady parts and more stupid things that the people eat up for some reason. Cena came in and got in his face to tell him he was going to kick his as at mania. Rock stood there quietly and took it. Cena left and suddenly Rock wasn't in such a playful mood anymore.

I didn't catch the show tonight....but with a username like yours I'll assume Cena was dead serious about that :lmao:
 
Everyone thinks Rock is this fantastic promo guy, he's not. 99% of his promos were written for him, he just had the charisma to pull them off. When he's just given free reign, like tonight, to say what he wants because he's The Rock...it blows chunks. Has done since, since his first return last year or something. If they didn't just allow him to go out and spew nonsense about Twitter and make shit up on the fly...and give him concrete bullet points, he'd have been awesome.

I'm pretty sure Wrestlemania and the match were only mentioned after Cena came out. Which is fucking stupid

This post is so idiotic I dont even know where to start

Wow is that all you heard? What about the rock rebutting everything cena said last week. Explained why he's not always around, explained why cena sucks etc etc, I swear you people just hear what you want to hear.
 
Playing Johnny-Come-Lately this week... brother.

Like everything Cena said last week was so new.

You make a nice point, which isn't always the case.

He said bitch. That means he's better than Cena right?

No. His ability to own a crowd when he has no business doing so (leaving for Hollywood, etc) makes him better than Cena.

I swear every other sentence the Rock says gets a chant.

That's what happens when you're one of the three greatest mic workers the business has ever seen.

Does Rock have writing on his left wrist?

Yep.

Why is it ok for Rock to kiss the crowd's ass but it's corny when Cena does it?

Rock kisses the crowds ass when they cheer him. Cena kisses the crowds ass hoping they'll cheer for him.

Cheap pops and name dropping. Now I can see why he's so over.

If you think that's what got Rock over starting 13-14 years ago, you don't know what you're talking about.

That's what happens when you're real, real good

Mhmm.

They would definitely turn on him again if he was on every week.

Not if he were feuding with Cena each week. No, sir.

Really ain't you so much as it seems everyone thinks this promo sucks. Again, got the crowd eating out of his hand. Te crowd loves, loves this man. And all you do is say he's getting cheap pops out of his ass?

That's what they say when they don't get their way. Their way - cheer for Cena, goddamnit! That's what I want!

Poor showing from Cena.

I didn't think it was poor, but it was nothing different from what he has said every other week. Funny how those supporting Cena can't see that, yet level Rock with the same complaint week after week.

An actor seems upset?

It's probably completely legitimate.

Probably. Dwayne's a pretty shitty actor.

About time he got to those catchphrases

Funny how when you're that talented, catchphrases can be all you need. Imagine what would happen if he went absolutely insane on the mic, completely ditching catchphrases? Your head might explode.

Cena wins? KB is on crack.

Nope. Just drunk.

Very underwhelming if you ask me.

I was greatly looking forward to the Rock running away with his "i fight for the people thats tired of your bullshit" argument but then he quickly went back to pandering with the crowd. Then the typical standing tall stuff. 4 more weeks, more is bound to happen I guess

I think he was pretty clear about the crowd hating Cena. Not sure how much further you wanted him to go, in his first week back.

I don't know who won the promo battle but I do know who lost. The fans.

There you go - one solid comment earlier... now this.

You're forgetting him explaining why he isn't back every week, why he's back now, what his beef is with Cena, why he wants to fight him, did you miss that, as well?

No, it's called selective hearing.

Besides that, as bad as this sounds, the cath phrases got humongous pops. Why would he deviate from what's working?

Why? If he goes to something different (something Cena hasn't done, either), it might not be as effective. If that happens, it's possible Cena will pick up some support, and everything in the world will be cupcakes and roses :)

If you need to write notes on your wrist to help you through your promo, you don't win.

Not sure if you've ever performed in front of a live crowd, but it's not easy, especially when you haven't done so on a consistent basis for nearly a decade. If a few notes on the wrist help him be as entertaining as he was tonight, I hope he fills up his entire fucking arm next week.

What did Rock do to build toward the match? Nothing. He just came out with a bunch more stupid lines to try and get cheap laughs and stuff to trend on Twitter. The only thing the Rock has done to build toward this match is have name recognition.

He said the crowd hates Cena. Not sure how much further he needed to go.

It almost felt like the Rock was unsure of himself tonight, that the cockiness was actually just a mask for some insecurity on his part. I wonder if he isn't quite sure that he can deliver a classic Rock match at Wrestlemania as promised. He just seemed uncharacteristically nervous.

I agree. I think when Cena called him out on the notes on his wrist, he lost a bit of his edge. If that was a work, and Dwayne meant for me to get that, he's a better actor than I've ever given him credit for.

I don't think that part was scripted.

Hate to be that guy, but do you guys honestly believe that the Rock would go out with notes on his arm and HD cameras everywhere?

Rock and Cena are working us all wonderfully.

I guess I agree, but I don't know. I think the general points have been laid out for both men, but I don't see any reason to believe Cena didn't add in the part about the notes at the last second.

No doubt. I'm getting worked by two of the best guys in the business. They've completely blurred the line and it's awesome.

I agree.

Good episode of Raw. I like the Cody/Show angle, that's going to be some solid stuff. The Teddly/JL feud skyrocketed tonight, and actually feels like a big deal. Glad we didn't see any Taker/HHH, only so much they can say to one another week after week.

Are you talking about how Rock said he was never going to leave again and how he meant it...just not literally?

His exact words were "I may not have balls, but I'm gonna beat you down at WM".

Yeah, this worked shoot bullshit is lame. Let the Rock be like he was in his prime. I was hoping cena wouldve spit in his face so we can have a traditional heel-face feud full of comedy. WWE is boring me.

Yes. Yes, The Rock has sucked at promos for years. It's always been the writers that made The Rock.

That's why they've written so many new stars in the last few years. It's why we're propelling such hot names like Jack Swagger, Dolph Ziggler, and the like into the main event. Clearly, creative i's the realm why Rock has become a star in movies, television, pretty much everything.

Look, if you want to say the promo sucked, fine. I don't agree, but fine. But if you're gonna argue Rock is not talented, i'm sorry, there's nothing I can do for you

Good to see that there's people on here who know what they're talking about. Bravo sir.
 
Let's all just be thankful that these two are talking out there differences and not using violence. God forbid after all the shit Rock has done to Cena he can't throw a single punch.

I said the Rock had charisma and yes,he is talented. Nobody can deliver a (already written) promo better.

#cenasmissingballs is still trending. How did cena win that exchange?

I really don't care about twitter. Rock is more popular among the IWC than Cena is. Not a shocking revelation. Of course a good percentage of the IWC thinks Hogan sucked too so pardon me if I don't take their opinion too seriously.
